OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES REPORT
or the working OF the Electric Pro-
cess i'm the Douglass Mill.

DIR. ]. H. RAE-DEAR SR:, At your re-
quest when we started the full mill under
the electric system appropriated two pans
and one settler to run separate, that is, to
weigh in the quicksilver and after working
one hundred tons twice the amount worked
on the test run) clean up thoroughly and
weigh back, SO as to ascertain the actual
loss of quicksilver. No distinction was
made in chemica ais, tailings, or in working,
only to keep the pans separate and distinct.
This enables me to approxim ate very close to
the work Of the entire mill, sixteen pans
and twelve settlers. About I,2so tons have
been worked to date; II7H tons in the two
pans mentioned, working day and night;
amount Of quicksilver used, 1898 pounds;
amount received back, IoooH half pounds;
loss of quicksilver on the II7H tons, 3711
pounds; fraction over S ounces to the ton,
saving of about 81 per cent. over the old
method in other words, the saving of quick
silver used to date in the whole mill, I6 pans
has been over 1000 pounds. would add
that during the run the lower plug of the
settler came out, letting a portion Of the
charges Of the two pans run out into the
sluices (Which will be recovered in part in
our blanket tailings) and would necessarily
reduce even the small loss Of 37N pounds.
/ make the above statements as you request
ed all the facts, good or bad; and to give the
system credit for the actual amount the scales
showed. Taking into consideration the con :
dition Of our settlers, (wooden slaves, about
IS years old, all Of them leaking badly for
almost the entire run) I think the results
are extraordinarily good. The settler sam.
Piles have been reduced over one half, conse-
quently the amalgamation is fully as good as
on the test run.
will append report OF IA 56-Ioo tons
Hindley ore worked and full returns made
This ore was roasted in reverberarory fur.
mace and worked in ore pan as usual, and
worked ga I4-Ioo per cent. Of assay value;
entire loss of quicksilver, 3% pounds; as
against usual loss Of about two pounds to the
ton, and also saving gold to stamp to the
amount Of $50, where we do not get enough
to stamp by the old method, thus showing
that he electric system will work equally
as we'll, if not better, upon ores Especially
gold ores) than it will on tailings.
You can use the above report as you deem
best, and you may refer to me, if you wish,
and will be pleased to answer any such
reference.

Economy in Man and Woman.


Did you ever notice the difference.
asks the Toledo Blade, in the economy
OF the average man and womana That
OF the former comes in spasns, severe
while they last and generally spending
themselves upon some really trivial
matter which counts next to notbino
in the fstiof their expenditures. Their
cessation IS usually marked by some
costly purchase. excursion, or indul-
gence that consumes ten times the
amount saved. The woman, on the
contrary. looks out for the little odds
andends in everyday life as she goes
along, things which the masculine in
IN n a MS pfosperous-feeling moments re-
CARDS as trifes not worth counting
Perhaps the difference has been induced
by the fact that she does not. hold the
purse strings, and is held accountable
fer che way in which the cash handed
TO her. holds out. She does not have
days OF feeling rich, and throwing her
money around lavishly. for she Knows
that any unusual fit of generosity on the
part OF the cashier is very likely to be
followed by a time of repentance and
reckoning.

aboN Story.

London Cable-The libel suit of
George Dolby against the proprietor of
the weekly paper Td-Bits came up
to-day before Mr.. Justice Stephen.
The libel consisted Of the publication of
q story told about Dolby and Dickens
by Howard Paul at a banquet of the
Clover Club in Philadelphia last year.
Dolby was manager for Dickens when
he made his last tour of America. and
the story told by Mr.. Paul was to the
effect that Dickens had engaged Dolby
chiefly because he had a stomach that
could stand any amount of eating and
drinking, and could, therefore, serve as
substitute for Dickens at dinners, etc.
that Dickens could not possibly attend.
In giving the case to the Jury Mr..
Justice, Stephen said that it was one
thing to tell the story in a chatting wav
around cornwall board and quite an
other to publish the story ia an English
newspaper, and thus scatter it all over
England. The jury gave a verdict for
$500, with costs. Dolby is very poor
and inlprovident. and this money will
be accented by him not so much as .
F1ndieation as a necessity.

Mr.. Beecher died at $50 Tuesday
morning, never recovering consciousness
after the paralysis reached his brain. His
family were for some hours before about
the bedside of the dying husband and
father; the scene was sad in the extreme,
and the grief Of the family at
the great loss was almost limitless and the
few friends that encircled the chamber
were likewise moved. No announcement of
the funeral was made on Tuesday. i4
The funeral Of Mr.. Beecher covered
three days; Thursday, services for the
family only took place at the house, Rev.
